Hello Daiva, Thank you for leaving feedback. I can see a member of our customer services team has looked into this for you and your offers are in the payments process, there is one offer that has not yet been paid, we have emailed you regarding this and are just waiting for you to respond to the email we have sent, you can update the offer and put it into the payments process by following the link at the bottom of the email. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and want to provide the best service possible and would therefore like to get your last offer into the payments process. Kind Regards WeBuyBooks

“If I was to rate WBB whilst ignoring the difficulties frequently experienced when items are in transit to them, I would be inclined to award them 4 stars. Their offer prices (whilst a bit unpredictable) are on occasion good, their website functions reliably, payment is usually quite swift, and when there is a need to contact their customer services department, their answers usually speedily resolve the issue put to them. Sadly, reality kicks in, and I must also allow for the considerable friction introduced by WBB's decision to stick unquestioningly with transport outsource Hermes irrespective of the service their customers experience. This drags WBB's overall score down to 1 star. On occasion, Hermes in-store barcode readers malfunction, meaning that your package to WBB can't be accepted. Not much fun when it's a 20 minute round trip to the Hermes collection point. If you are sending in a heavy package via the Hermes courier service, then prepare yourself for disappointment. In my experience, you only have a 50:50 chance of their van turning up on the agreed date, so often, you wait in vain. Unlike other courier services, Hermes don't send you a notification on the day of what 1 hour collection slot you have been allocated, so you certainly can't plan your day. If you have any query about the package you've sent, and try to use Hermes' tracking system, prepare yourself for some bizarre, nonsensical "explanations" as to what is going on e.g. as regards a parcel which Hermes had collected and receipted last August, their tracking system said: Update on your parcel We couldn't collect your parcel as it wasn't suitable, please contact your retailer to make alternative arrangement Rubbish though a response such as that is, the worst is yet to come. Over the period February 2020 to January 2021, packages entrusted to Hermes had items mysteriously going missing 3 times. On 1 of these occasions, no less than 7 books (valued at £20+) "disappeared", and my correspondence with WBB to resolve the issue ran to over a dozen emails. It is true that on each of these 3 occasions - after intervention by me - WBB paid me in full for all the "missing" items. However, that does not compensate for the hassle experienced, and it means that you only feel safe handing over your package once you've taken the precaution of taking photos of each item you are boxing up, in case there is yet another mishap whilst the items are in Hermes' custody. Prior to 2020, WBB paid me on 5 occasions when I had waited for anything from 14 to 19 days after my package had been left at a Hermes collection point, but the parcel had still not reached WBB. Once again, after contacting WBB, full payment was made to me on each of these 5 occasions, but who needs this degree of hassle, delay and aggravation? After January 2021's "mysterious disappearance" of books, I contacted WBB and gave them full details of each of the 8 incidents I have just described above. I pointed out that when I trade through another online book buyer (who use "Collectplus" and "DPD"), I simply do not experience this degree of nonsense. I asked for an assurance from someone at Director level within WBB that they would take the issues I had raised seriously, and would insist that Hermes upped their game. WBB's initial response was an extremely bland one, delivered to me by a member of their customer services department. When I emailed WBB again, and repeated my request for some Director level feedback, I received the following response from the WBB Customer Services Manager: "We would advise that it is our choice as a business to use Hermes and this is not a subject for discussion with our customers. If you are unhappy with our chosen carrier and indeed the way your offers have been handled previously, we would respectfully ask that you no longer trade with us." So, to translate, WBB couldn't give a fig about Hermes' repeatedly poor performance, and have no intention of making Hermes deliver an acceptable level of service to WBB's customers. Like it, or lump it. In these circumstances, if I could award WBB a score of zero, I would do so; even 1 out of 5 seems generous.”

“Good, quick and easy to use service. Prices offered are very low often 15p and under but it still helped me declutter and I am satisfied. I would of liked more items to be accepted as they dont buy everything which is a shame. Overall I do reccomend using WeBuyBooks!”

“A surprisingly effective and pain free way to offload your no longer needed books. The app works very efficiently from scanning the books to booking the courier to regular progress updates to final payment. The amount you receive per book isn't huge and there are a lot of titles it won't take, such as the popular big selling paperbacks, so you may still be heading off with boxes for the charity shops (when they reopen) but the system itself works very smoothly. If you have a few lesser known titles or want to sell your old text books and don't want any hassle then Webuybooks is a good way to do it.”
